In Holly Vaughan's work, the malleability of the female form and the fluidity of posture are fashioned through a process of gestation, a conception realised through the 'photolitho' technique, a technique achieved by the imbrication of the original image on the new digital state

About
Recalling the essence of the original image, the photolithography process is an amalgamation of old and new, retaining fragments of detailed pixels from the previous image amongst the cracks and various textures materialising in the new ink. The work is born from a single moment, moving through media over time, as the materials harbour their own, independent of the maker and unfolding naturally. Traces of processes previously journeyed are left fragmented. They overlap, blurring the boundaries contained within the piece.

Originally stills, the images from the unique photolithography print series were taken from the artist's 'Siren's Meeting', a film that began with a steel, plaster and latex sculpture; a figure based loosely on image of the body in flux: The way the skin moves, stretches, folds, contracts, and the beauty of a harmony achieved through the ease of breathing.

Holly has been inspired by the likes of Berlinde de Bruyckere, Pipilotti Rist, Louise Bourgeois and Marlene Duman

"I Collaborated with artist Holly Vaughan to create two new and innovative textiles. Together we transformed Holly's photolithography prints from her series "Siren" Made from film stills into fabric, which we then worked into with hand embroidery giving the textile a 3 dimensional quality. This was handcrafted into fat peak Lapel Blazer, Armour Jacket, Lab Coat and Side Tie Trouser"
